Just counted how many drawer fronts I've made this year - 247 so far

That number hit me when I was tallying up materials for my next order and I realized half of them were from just one kitchen remodel in Austin back in March, has anyone else ever bothered to add up their yearly output like that?

247 drawer fronts, and I can barely keep track of which keys go to which house on my property management list.

You are literally counting drawers but do you count the ones that fail? The returns or callbacks? Had a buddy who tracked every cabinet door he made for 3 years. Numbers looked great until he factored in the 12 that warped or had finish issues. That 247 might feel good but the real number is what stayed installed and made the customer happy six months later. Nobody tracks the ghosts - the ones that haunt you at 2am because of a bad miter or tearout. Just saying.
